As above. We have had the same 3 boys names for a while, my preference being Isaac and DH’s being Arthur. We both like Hugo but I’m worried we are settling.

Thanks

There is a plethora of Isaac's and Arthur's around me.

Go for Hugo.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 08/03/2020 16:45

In order of preference:
Isaac
Arthur
Hugo

Hugo is a lovely name and a little more unique!

gingertwinsandautism · 08/03/2020 16:57

Hugo. There are Isaacs and Arthurs everywhere. It's a classy name, easy to spell and he won't be one of a hundred with the same name at secondary school.

daisypond · 08/03/2020 17:01

Hugo.

golddustwomen · 08/03/2020 17:03

Isaac 100%

Mrsjayy · 08/03/2020 17:04

I really don't like Hugo, my preference would be Issac .

userabcname · 08/03/2020 17:08

I have an Isaac so I'm biased but that's my pick!

Whatsyourflava · 08/03/2020 17:10

I love all 3 names! Don’t worry you are settling im sure any of those lovely 3 names will suit your little man and feel much more special once it is attached to him

I really love Arthur by the way. Such a strong lovely name with such great nn potential should they choose

DramaAlpaca · 08/03/2020 17:10

Hugo or Arthur.

Not Isaac, it's one of those names I have an irrational dislike of.

dementedma · 08/03/2020 17:13

Hugo - it’s lovely
then Isaac
Not keen on Arthur

Peachbubble · 08/03/2020 17:36

Arthur or Hugo

IceBearRocks · 08/03/2020 18:10

Hugo always reminds of of the Korean for 7.... Every Higo we know we call them 7!

Xanadu58 · 08/03/2020 18:12

Hugo
Arthur
Isaac

averythinline · 08/03/2020 18:12

SquigglePigs · 08/03/2020 18:15

Not Arthur, but Isaac and Hugo are lovely.

DoctorBambino · 08/03/2020 18:27

In order of preference I'd go for Isaac, Arthur, Hugo

Lulu1919 · 08/03/2020 18:40

Hugo

MikeUniformMike · 08/03/2020 18:55

My favourite is Hugo, but all three are popular.

nosleepp · 08/03/2020 18:56

I love Arthur and Isaac, can’t stand Hugo

EstebanTheMagnificent · 08/03/2020 21:22

In order:

Hugo
Arthur
Isaac

I like Isaac a lot but the constant misspelling would send me demented.

PinkFlamingo888 · 08/03/2020 21:33

I really like Arthur but there seem to be more and more around. I like Isaac too and used to really dislike Hugo however it is a family name for me and it’s grown on me a lot so I’d probably go for that out of the 3! Our surname starts with a G though and not sure it flows so I’d possible avoid if your surname is similar

SallyWD · 08/03/2020 21:34

I think Isaac is one of the most beautiful boys names. I know an 8 year old Isaac, often called Zac.

rottiemum88 · 08/03/2020 21:34

I'm biased as I have one, but love Hugo 🥰

Bezalelle · 09/03/2020 12:05

I really don't understand the love for Hugo. Depending on your accent it can sound either like "You! Go!" or really snooty and toffy.
